Hey and thanks for the report. I hope to get needed fixes in today..
Maybe you can try and confirm it's working using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benjaminkott/photobooth/task/install-action/install-photobooth.sh

Updated version of the installer, yes

rm install-photobooth.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benjaminkott/photobooth/task/install-action/install-photobooth.sh
sudo bash install-photobooth.sh -username='<YourUsername>'

It should contain everything needed to fix the permission problem.

On Raspberry PI OS bookworm i get the same error with npm. I think the package from "apt" is the problem. When modifying your install script to always use the function "update_nodejs()" a newer version of npm will be installed with the updater from stanley.

I am aware of and Nodejs via stanley is removed on the updated script I posted.

Does not work on a fresh install (of bookworm) with the updated script. Installed Nodejs version from apt sources matches 18.17, so the photobooth install script never runs "update_nodejs()" and installer fails with:

Cloning into '/var/www/html/vendor/Seriously'...
Submodule path 'vendor/Seriously': checked out '513d2b8696b76fe764b3033aa6dc7c99005acccd'

Maybe a function to check npm version could be implementd, something like

if $(npm -version) -le 9.6.0 -> run your updated part of nodejs update

I ran that part (update_nodejs())) manually and rerun the photobooth installer, I get the following error and setup breaks:

[Package]   Installing missing common package: npm
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

For now I removed 'npm' from the extra packages, the installer runs until the end and photobooth is installed.

Can you maybe tell me where you had to remove 'npm'?

For my described case, (install fails, manually update npm, rerun installer) I commented this line:

EXTRA_PACKAGES+=('npm')

But this is not the best way. If you are not familiar I think you should wait for the devolpers until the fix the problem within the installer.

Aside from that this case is about permission errors on html folder and not a wrong npm version (on bookworm). The original posted bug seems to be fixed.

Installer should be fixed now. If possible please do a fresh install of PiOS and try again.

Thanks for testing. 👍😊
There was a general issues with the permission after switching some installation steps to run as www-data user,.also there have been 2 issues on bookwork:

• Node.js was installed in v18.13 by default, npm was missing
• we switched to use the official node sources instead the of pi binaries from audstanley

Now we also check for the minor version string of Node.js and suggest an update if needed.
If npm is missing we also try to install, npm version will be proofed also now and tried to be updated if it's not matching out requirements.
